A total of 28 members travelled to this little Bush Retreat for lunch. We met in Bowen Big Mango rest stop for morning tea before proceeding to Bogie River - no one knew what to expect but we were not disappointed. A lovely friendly atmosphere and the lunch served was excellent - we opted for an alternate drop meal to...

I have stayed with Terri and John a number of times and have found the accommodation, food and staff to be fantastic. Whilst this is not a lush hotel - it is very comfortable, clean and ever so homely. Terry is also a magnificent cook, so be prepared to walk away a few grams heavier than on arrival!
Thank you...

The pleasure is ours as always, thanks for the support and apologies for the grams !!

Thank you so much to Terri and John for all your help hosting our workshop. You went over and above to help us, providing "walls" for posters and notes.
The food was fabulous and plentiful.
The grounds are lovely.
The house is gorgeous.
I will definitely try to come back again sometime.

Bush Bunks at Bogie River has recently changed hands. The new owners have great customer service, attention to detail, keep the property clean and tidy, and are pleasant people to talk to! We had a beautiful lunch, generous and well priced. We enjoyed drinks at the bar a short distance from the Australia shaped pool. We also enjoyed a ride...

My work colleagues and I have just had our Christmas Party at the Bush House and it was agreed by all that it was fabulous. From the moment we arrived our hosts Terry, John and Adrian and also the lovely Sarah couldn't have done more to make our visit memorable. There were 10 of us for an overnight stay, which...

What a pleasure to have hard working ladies to come and visit us just to relax, its what we are here for, a unique bush experience, where you can enjoy the bush

So this review may be a little out of date: we stayed with Ernie and Glenda for two of the 12 months we spent in Australia in 2002/2003 and are really pleased to hear that their business is still thriving. My, now husband and I travelled around the whole of Australia during our gap year and these two month are...

First off the accommodation is awful! 20 people 1 shower, 1 toilet, 2 gas rings, no tv, Internet that never works and is...

Many thanks for your review, sadly it would have been more constructive to air your views whilst here working and using the facilities which are not charged for to assit travellers to save as much as possible. After a few short weeks our internet has been upgraded, we are busy getting ready for the next season, building something up takes...

Was here on my travels, mainly due to work. accomodation is below average and poorly maintained, owners attitude sucks. You never know what mood she'll be in. Very remote, wifi is tempermental along with the owner. Since leaving and having spoken to other travellers and hostel staff this place is very well known for mistreating its guests. Animal sanctuary is...
